      Not only that, but the operative word is “killed”. Wongbandue had dementia and went to the train station, and it’s profoundly disgusting that Facebook has a product that would deceive a senile old man into going to New York to meet someone who doesn’t exist, but he died after falling while jogging. Clearly not at all what’s being implied by the OP and really stretching the proximate cause for being “killed”.

        I’m frustrated by how meta deals with it’s bots. They put them next to real people on messenger with the same profile picture and green dot format (it would be trivial to make the dot blue so we can differentiate between people and bots) but they also randomly add them without your consent. I find myself wondering who this person is, not remembering them being on my friends list, only to find out it’s a bot.

        Obviously, anyone that’s even mildly deficient is going to think it’s a real person.
